I'm trying to put my XML sitemap URL into Bing Webmaster Tools. I checked the Yoast sitemap area in my WP backoffice and see that Yoast provides 5 sitemaps, not 1. The five that are listed are:

These are different sitemaps for posts, pages, attachments, categories, and post tags. I do not know which one of these to choose to put into Bing Webmaster Tools, which only provides one line for the sitemap.xml file.

If I put in the first sitemap above, will Bing Webmaster Tools allow me to put in all of these sitemaps, or will it only allow one? If only one, which one of the above sitemaps should I choose?

Thanks, in advance for your help with this! I hope this blog will help other Yoast users who encounter this issue in the Certification process (Course 5, Lesson 9).

Thanks Marty, and also Carlton, will bookmark !!

You're welcome, Mel!

Thanks, Carlton!

FYI - I just read in the Yoast documentation that we should include a trailing forward slash (/) in the URL. Don't know why that is important, but it was stressed that we shouldn't put in the URL without the trailing slash.
